Bread that is made from whole grains as I want to start a low carb diet and I have been told that I need to look for a really good whole grain bread that is actually made from whole grains, The shopping isles are full of bread and I know i will be lost searching for this bread so if you already eat it can you advise, cheers

Do you mean low carb or low GI? Either way, all standard breads are a form of carb but certainly some of them are better for you than others. Low GI breads are good. I recommend this one ... http://www.burgen.co.nz/Range/Product.aspx/12/Wholemeal--Seeds

A low carb diet means lowering your carbs. Carbs are all starches and sugars. Which means you need to eliminate bread, pasta, rice, sugar, cakes, biscuits etc.
Whole grain bread is just as much starch as white bread really - but it won't push up the blood sugar as fast as white bread - however the blood sugar will be higher for a longer time ... which is better for you ? I don't know, the "experts don't agree on it either.
Meanwhile I would simply not eat bread etc - see above.
Have you found the NZ low carb website yet? Lots of good recipes and lots of good advice. Since TM is exceedingly worried we could be selling things to each other there and they might lose 20 cents on fees - we are not allowed to give a link.
But if you google it and find a site with a dark background and some intersting foodie pic in the middle you found it :)
Good luck with your low carb diet.

McKenzies bread is very, very nice - not much low carb about it though.

Not to worry, there's always insulin to help lower your blood sugar.

The diabetic clinic at Christchurch hospital recommended Burgen bread. I don't like the linseed one as much as the others (beside which the seeds are so smallthey go right through you).

It would be helpful if poster #1 came back and confirmed which diet she's doing - low carb or low GI. If it's low carb; bread's a No-Go.

for the life of me i can not find your website on low carb, I have been on the low carb aitkens diet on and off but over the last 6 months have gone crazy and gone back to old ways, I have encorparated fruit, all bran, carrots, potatoes and on the weekends I go crazy on bread. So I thought is there something in between. I have read you can still loose weight on a low carb diet by eating wholegrains thats why I thought about a good wholegrain bread

I reckon go for those "breadman" loaves - like the pumpernickel or something. I have seen then for sale at New World :) http://www.breadman.co.nz/
